The objective of this study was to examine RNs' experiences with health information technology (HIT) and their perceptions of the effect of this technology on quality of care and daily work. The adoption and use of HIT are expected to increase substantially over the next 5 years because of policy efforts at the federal and state levels. Given the size of the RN workforce and their critical role in healthcare delivery, their experiences with HIT could help adoption efforts. The method used was a nationally representative survey of 1500 nurses with a 56% response rate. Findings suggest wide variation in the availability of HIT functionality, with functions more likely available to hospital RNs. Overall, RNs perceived the effect of these technologies on quality of care and their daily work as positive. Ensuring that HIT systems are relevant to and usable for RNs will be a critical component in achieving the meaningful use of these systems.
本研究旨在考察注册护士（RN）在健康信息技术（HIT）方面的经验，以及他们对该技术对护理质量和日常工作影响的看法。由于联邦和州层面的政策努力，预计未来 5 年内 HIT 的采用和使用将大幅增加。鉴于注册护士劳动力的规模及其在医疗保健服务中的关键作用，他们在 HIT 方面的经验可能有助于推广。该方法是对 1500 名护士进行的全国代表性调查，回复率为 56%。调查结果表明，HIT 功能的可用性存在很大差异，医院注册护士更有可能获得这些功能。总体而言，注册护士认为这些技术对护理质量和日常工作的影响是积极的。确保 HIT 系统与注册护士相关且易于使用将是实现这些系统有效使用的关键组成部分。
